AUSTRALIA | Ombudsman recognised as one of Western Australia’s best practice entities

For the eleventh consecutive year, the Western Australian Ombudsman has been recognised as one of Western Australia’s best practice entities for timeliness and quality of reporting, financial reporting and controls by the Auditor General.

This achievement acknowledges the performance of the office of the Ombudsman across a number of criteria including the timely preparation for audit, high quality financial and key performance indicator reporting, and maintenance of good financial management controls.

Ombudsman Chris Field said that it is particularly pleasing, in a challenging year, that good governance has been maintained. “Underlying all of our work, and the confidence that Parliament and citizens can have in our work, is a commitment to our good governance and integrity. I am indebted to my outstanding staff team for this work that has been recognised by the Auditor General each year for more than a decade”.
